PILine ultrasonic piezo drives offer an affordable alternative to electromagnetic linear motors and motor-leadscrew combinations when small dimensions and/or high speed are important. With velocities of up to 200mm/s, these drives are fast, compact and readily integrated. In addition, PIline motors are self-locking at rest with zero heat generation, eliminating the need for an additional […]

Rethinking the Micro Linear Motor
Up until now, linear motors have been designed primarily as flat stage motors complete with cradle and guide – a format that is not necessarily suitable for every application. But a new rotationally symmetrical rotor design together with a rectangular, flange-mountable stator, enables an almost universally applicable fit. The LM 1247 motor from MicroMo is […]
Aerotech’s ANT95-L Linear Motor Stage
Aerotech NanoTranslation (ANT95-L, ANT95-L-H) cross-roller bearing stages combine high speed, accuracy, resolution, repeatability, and reliability into a compact package. As an evolution of the popular ANT stage family, these linear stages exhibit enhanced motion performance such as 5 g acceleration, 500 mm/s velocity, enhanced load capacity, and standardized, universal base mounting patterns that allow the […]
